"Focusing on the 1950s and 1960s this well-illustrated, compact, nostalgic collection, employing a variety of images, examines some of the opportunities and problems facing public transport in West Yorkshire in this era..."

This book not only rekindles memories for those fortunate enough to have known Ledgards but also gives an insight into these charming vehicles for the many others who were never able to experience Ledgards first hand.

For those interested in the histories of small businesses Stuart Emmett’s books will certainly whet the appetite; and if you want to see the vehicles in their glorious miscellany of liveries and environments, you are in for a treat. From early Leylands through Bedford WTB, OB, OWB and SBs to twin-steer VALs, bodywork and chassis by dozens of manufacturers, open platforms and centre entrances, half cabs and flat fronts, you will find them all in profusion, sharply and brightly printed, with informative captions.

I wholeheartedly commend these books.

Journal of the Road Transport History Association - No103, December 2021

"Members will enjoy the text and photo captions which tell the story in a very readable manner."

PSV Circle (Buses) - May 2022, No 988

"A largely photographic compilation with many images in colour this book also shows now demolished buildings around Leeds. An interesting exercise in nostalgia, showing that Leeds area transport was not only about trams!"

York Model Engineers Newsletter - May 2022

"The book’s many photographs show the buses at work in their operating territory which stretched between Leeds, Bradford, Ilkley and Harrogate, with interesting street and scenic views. For the enthusiast of buses of that period, as well as people with a specific interest in Ledgard’s, this will be a worthwhile addition to the library."
